Automotive Battery Safety Summit

Batteries remain the most important single element in the growing future market of electric vehicles and hybrids. For some years now, Li-Ion batteries have become the current standard, providing a lot of power due to their reactive components. On the other hand these materials might cause safety issues like thermal runaways or short circuits. A few incidents have resulted in growing public concern. In order to reach the mass market for electric vehicles and hybrids it is necessary to provide maximum safety.

From cells to integrated battery systems: Safety first!

IQPC’s 2nd "Automotive Battery Safety Summit" will bring together international specialists from global OEMs and Tier 1-suppliers, engineers working in functional safety and researchers from testing facilities to understand and discuss latest research outcomes and new approaches in battery safety, covering many aspects from standardization to transportation regulations, from safety needs on a cell basis up to integrated systems. The event is a very interactive forum where experts meet and exchange their know-how to set new ideas and standards for future innovations on battery safety.

• Learn from global battery safety experts and engage in international professional exchange to be prepared for next generation needs in battery safety
• Deepen your understanding of the complex aspects in battery safety – covering all major areas: Physical, chemical, thermal and electrical issues which might affect the safety of a battery
• Listen to best practice examples from safety engineers, battery experts and testing professionals from industry and academia to follow a successful all-embracing process of understanding the battery safety issues
• Hear about improved and innovative battery designs and further methods to achieve cost-effective production while still keeping highest safety standards

Join us for three days of learning sessions, enlightening dialogues and debates, and in-depth workshop sessions with a high level of interactivity.
